Gosh, that was fun today! Around lunch time, I met up with Scott W. to run Mt. Wire in Sugarhouse area. He mentioned it would be a good recovery run for him, so I expected an easy run. We ran a bit, but mostly hiked up ~2500ft to the top in 1.75 miles. He kept talking while I gasped for air at a literal crawling pace. My calves started burning about 10 minutes into it, so he let me stop and catch my breath stretch for a minute.
The view was amazing at the top! I've never been anywhere like it, but I've only ran the Twin Peaks in the past. We decided to take a more technical route back, climbing (literally) up to Red Butte. He kept talking about rattlers in the rocks and I kept picturing them jumping out of the holes like Wac-a-Mole. We caught a couple pics up top. I was in awe of the ground we had covered! We then went to a ledge called the "living room." We found a group of people casually taking in the view. We finally made our way down to the bottom in about a 1:50:00 for a 10k round trip. A little harder than I expected, I need to work on hills more deliberatly.
Mt Wire was fun! The weather was awesome, the company was great and the scenery was outstanding!
